He will definitely come back roaring. Even with the story, I have seen him bat only in the last 4 or 5 overs, there is a reason for that. He had a calf injury which he initially thought was probably a minor injury, but it forced him to pull himself together and, as he often does, in international cricket and for CSK, he tried to be useful and Figured out a way to contribute for CSK.” Regarding MS Dhoni’s retirement, Suresh Raina told Geo Cinema, “Rituraj Gaikwad needs more time to mature, so MS Dhoni should play one more season.” Now amidst all this, it will be interesting to see whether MS Dhoni plays in the next IPL season or not.
